Hi,
I have a huge sheet with 2000+ rows.
And I need to subtract the text in A1 from the text in B1.
A1:
AL-ARZ ICE CREAM FACTORY CO.
B1:
Al-Arz Ice Cream - BT-C / GMF / GIF 1200
Outcome should be:
BT-C / GMF / GIF 1200
Please help,
BR

How do I add a file to my post??
Or in this case after I added my post?
1. It would help to see the workbook.
To Attach a File:
1. Scroll down to the window below your post Additional Options
2. In the frame Attach Files you will see the button Manage Attachments
3. Click the button.
4. A new window will open titled Manage Attachments - Excel Forum.
5. Click the Browse... button to locate your file for uploading.
6. This will open a new window File Upload.
7. Once you have located the file to upload click the Open button. This window will close.
8. You are now back in the Manage Attachments - Excel Forum window.
9. Click the Upload button and wait until the file has uploaded.
10. Close the window and then click Submit.

Your data is not consistent.
See the attached file to see the green cells (The best I came with).
=IF(LEFT(TRIM(MID(B2,LOOKUP(9^9,SEARCH(LEFT(A2&" ^",ROW($1:$256))&" ",B2),ROW($1:$256))+1,256)),1)="-",MID(TRIM(MID(B2,LOOKUP(9^9,SEARCH(LEFT(A2&" ^",ROW($1:$256))&" ",B2),ROW($1:$256))+1,256)),3,256),TRIM(MID(B2,LOOKUP(9^9,SEARCH(LEFT(A2&" ^",ROW($1:$256))&" ",B2),ROW($1:$256))+1,256)))

Thanks a lot.
It seems to be working, just have to clean up my data a bit for it to work on all cells.
Again, thanks.
